While it does appear that the PC earned more revenue for EA than the PS3 it is surely because EA gets a far bigger cut of the sale when selling the game via Origin than out of a big box retailer. It could still be that the PS3 is the larger market, but that game sales on PC are the larger revenue generator (which is really what's important)" (http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/xi0qu/ea_announces_financial_results_pc_beating_ps3_the/) |
This reddit post is a terrible argument. EA cares about profits. If the PS3 isn't pulling in as much revenue per sale as the PC, and the PC is giving them overall stronger revenue, then the PC market is simply the better market for them.
